93 State an important property in which these metal chloride and non-metal chloride differ. 93 Why do they differ in this property? 95 CuSO4 (aq) + Fe (s) → FeSO4 (aq) + Cu (s)

FeSO4 (aq) + Zn (s) → ZnSO4 (aq) + Fe (s)


On the basis of the above reactions, indicate which is most reactive and which is least reactive metal out of zinc, copper and iron.

 96 Which of the following reactions will not occur ? Why not?

(a) MgSO4 (aq) + Cu (s) → CuSO4 (aq) + Mg (s)


(b) CuSO4 (aq) + Fe (s) → FeSO4 (aq) + Cu (s)


(c) MgSO4 (aq) + Fe (s) → FeSO4 (aq) + Mg (s)
